Hi and Welcome to the Community!

Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.

Best!

yeah i know about that, i did it but it didn't work still having the problem,

here is a pic shows how it apears to me when i try to view a video on youtube

as you can see the (play) button doesn't appear.

is it a flash player problem?! cuz as i know there is no flash player for blackberry devices !!

thanks,,,

Most likely...are you using the full or mobile YouTube site? Also, I think there is a free YouTube Player app available in AppWorld.

Good luck!

I'm using mobile youtube and i have the free yt player app. Btw, i just made software but still the same problem!!!!!!
I can play all other medias but not yt one!!

Hmmm...strange...OK, so you originally said that this used to be fine? Is there anything that changed between the last time it was fine and now? An update? A new app? A theme? Something else? Think carefully, as the smallest thing could be causal.

Also, is your BB perhaps corporate/BES? If so, have your BES admins added a new restriction for this?

No nothing, i actually was watching youtube when suddenlly that happened !

I called the company providers my service and everything is fine from thier side
I tried my sim card in another phone it workes!!

I've found the solution finaly
I only need to change display language to english!
It was set on my mother language (arabic)

So, i guess the problem is from youtube itself!!
Cuz before it was working normally even if it's on arabic!!


Regards

That is quite odd indeed, but I'm glad you found a solution. Enjoy!

I have a Blackberry Bold 9780 and youtube app worked fine until i went home and i watched the youtube videos on my Orange provider (i have a sim card, not sevrice plan or contract at them), when i got home at my wireless and try watching any youtube video it gives me this: "Content not available. Server is blocked or unresponsive."

- I try to delete history and cahce and all that...restart...still nothing

- I did the battery pull and restart...nothing

- I uninstall and installed youtube app...nothing

- I enabled and unenabled TCP/IP - APN stuff...still nothing

Please can you help me with some solution????
